Would second Lebanese Taverna. Anything in the Tysons Galleria would work but they are chains e.g., Wildfire, Legal Seafoods, Maggiano's. Did a group dinner at Alegria in Vienna (Mexican food) and it was fun.

Went there last weekend - really, really good. With a party of 4 and we ordered the lamb (it's huge), short rib pasta, oysters, branzino...everything was great. Servers were friendly and food came out well paced.

Wine list is reasonably priced (we found several great options at $55).

Wow, I was actually just thinking the exact same thing. I've been going quite a bit this spring and have been surprised by how much I like their food (especially the beet salad), but last time I went everything was just off. We had an octopus appetizer that was basically impossible to cut and inedible because it was so chewy, and the mains were salty and just underwhelming. Their cocktails do remain amazing.

I've been hearing things about an inexpensive prix-fixe lunch (or maybe just lunch?) at the Four Seasons bar - do people know what the prices are like and whether you need reservations or not? Apologies if this has been mentioned before but I did a few searches and couldn't find anything!

Awesome, thanks! I'll look into Green Table and Market Table. Agreed about Josie's - it's the only one I've been to (for brunch) and it's not quite what I'm looking for. I'm also considering some vegetarian / vegan places (Pure Food and Wine or Blossom), so thoughts on those would also be appreciated!

I'm visiting London with my family this week and am looking for a really nice Japanese restaurant for dinner one night. We are big fans of Yauatcha in London, and in New York we really love Matsugen, Jewel Bako, Sakagura and Ippudo. Budget is not a consideration. Any recommendations?

azya looks absolutely perfect!!! chocolate + wine = my favorites. and great idea on just ordering dessert at a nicer restaurant - i absolutely love the modern and i'm sure we could order dessert at the bar

looking for a fun dessert place in midtown (20s-60s, ideally between madisonish and 8thish) to meet up with a friend. most of the dessert places that come to mind are either in the wrong location (cafe lalo in upper west, cha-an, max brenner, dessert truck in lower east) or a little boring (pinkberry or red mango in ktown). are there any good dessert places in midtown?! scary that this is new york city and i can't think of any...

sorellina doesn't have any spots until 9:30, but i'd rather have an earlier dinner time - between via matta and teatro, what would you recommend in terms of ambience? my friend had a birthday dinner at teatro and enjoyed it, but would it be okay for 2 people? from its website, the via matta dining area doesn't look that intimate.
